A clipping dock for network video cameras includes a primary clip rod, a secondary clip rod, a torsional spring, an actuating button and a cap. The secondary clip rod is stacked on the primary clip rod. The torsional spring is mounted onto the stacked location to enable the primary clip rod and the secondary clip rod to extend or fold elastically relative to each other. The secondary clip rod has ratchet teeth at the stacked location to engage with the actuating button located nearby. The cap covers the stacked location. When the primary clip rod and the secondary clip rod are extended or folded at a desired angle, the actuating button may be moved to engage with the ratchet teeth to form an anchor condition to thereby achieve a self-adjusting function for extending or folding.
